Mammoth Hotel Enterprise.-With
great qualification the JOURNAL learns
that several enterprising, responsible
gentlemen are seriously contemplating
the formation of a hotel company with
headquarters in Frostburg II carried

edifice will be erected and furnished
In style which will attract the bt st
class of summer sojourners, ard de-

burg as resort, especially during the
heated months of June, July, August
and September. The matter is in
good hands and in such shape that we
really anticipate practical results.
Brecities.-"In a crowd of ten
men," said Titus A. Brick, Thursday,
as he stepped out on the pavement
and walked to a fresh meat store near
by, meanwhile depositing Glove in
his mouth to change the color of his
